ABSTRACT

Current glove guides attempt to assist in recommending which type of

glove is appropriate for handling chemicals; however, they include information on

less than 1% of the 89 million chemical products available today.

This study offers a solution by testing five durable polymer materials

against 50 chemicals, using two rapid chemical degradation assessment

techniques. The first technique involves gravimetric analysis of the weight

change following constant immersion against the chemical mixture. The second

method uses tensile strength to assess molecular changes in the polymer

structure.

This study is focused on addressing three issues of concern. First, this

study examines if current degradation testing methods are adequate to

determine chemical resistance against complex mixtures. Secondly, this study

will be used to determine if current degradation information on pure chemicals is

effective in predicting degradation of complex chemical mixtures, based on the

major ingredient(s). Lastly, this study will start a chemical resistance index for

complex mixed chemicals.

The results of this study clearly show that glove recommendations of pure

and mixed chemicals are frequently different. In more than 58.4% of the cases,

the mixed chemical requires a different glove than that of its pure chemical

components. Results also show that glove recommendations based solely on

weight change and/or permeation results are missing important information on

iii

tensile test performance. There are several instances (15.2%) in which the initial

glove recommendation would be changed to a lower recommendation rating if

the results of a tensile test were included.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

Gloves can act as both the first and last lines of defense in protecting

individuals from chemical exposure in both industrial and household settings.

Gloves, classified as a type of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), are

designed to provide barriers against potentially dangerous chemicals from having

direct contact or prolonged exposure to skin. According to OSHA, “an estimated

60,000 deaths and 860,000 occupational illnesses per year in the US are

attributed to occupational exposure, a relatively small percentage caused by skin

exposure would represent a significant health risk”.(1) Chemical burns, wounds,

infection, and death could result if a glove were to not effectively protect against

chemical exposure. According to Reuscher (2012), there are several factors to

consider when choosing the right gloves, including: splash or immersion

protection, characteristics of the chemical being handled, temperature and

concentration of the chemical, length of exposure time to chemical, dexterity

needed to do task, and whether disposable or reusable are the best option. (2)

Gloves are not solely used as protection against pure chemicals hazards,

but are frequently used as protection against exposure to industrial or

commercial products, which can include complex mixtures of various chemical

components. Industrial and commercial products will be referred to as ”mixed

chemicals” in this study. These complex mixed chemicals can have very different

1

chemical properties from their pure chemical ingredients. There is currently no

published index enabling consumers to properly identify which glove choice can

best protect against a variety of mixed chemical industrial and commercial

products. This lack of information could lead to undue injury, illness or death.

The wrong glove could be chosen because of the misconception that the

chemical resistance to protect against a mixture is equal to the chemical

resistance of the pure chemical ingredients. This belief in equal chemical

resistance excludes any potential changes in chemical hazard or strength

resulting from the pure chemicals being mixed together.

Gravimetric studies analyze the differences in the weight of the glove

material prior to and after chemical exposure. Variations in weight signify that a

chemical reaction or physical change in the polymer occurred. Procedures for

methods to evaluate weight change as a measure of degradation can be found in

the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Method D 471 Standard

Test Method for Rubber Property – Effect of Liquids.(3) Another degradation

standard, the American National Standards Institute’s International Safety

Equipment Association (ANSI/ISEA) Standard 105 Hand Protection Selection

Criterion(4), provides a set of criteria to analyze the puncture resistance of a

polymer glove, which is related to the tensile properties of the material. Analyzing

the tensile properties of a glove material before and after exposure to a chemical

can help determine if a breakdown in the polymer structure has occurred, which

is when the glove material breaks or tears more easily after exposure to a

2

chemical. A significant difference in measurements for either a weight or tensile

test indicates that the glove may not completely protect against the chemical and

a more suitable glove may need to be chosen. However, most current guides

neglect to include information on changes in puncture resistance or tensile

properties, limiting the scope of coverage for the guides, which can potentially

result in the recommendation of an inadequate glove material. Many guides,

such as the Ansell Guide(5) or Forsberg et al. Quick Selection Guide to Chemical

Protective Clothing(6), evaluate permeation data in place of chemical degradation

weight or tensile changes, which further complicates the selection process.

Significant differences are anticipated in comparing the degradation

results of glove material exposed to mixed chemicals to that of the individual pure

chemical ingredients. These differences are worth noting because if a glove is

unable to withstand a chemical, then its use could result in injury, illness or

death. The analysis of weight and tensile strength changes, following exposure to

chemical mixtures, in comparison to their pure chemical components will help

determine if current degradation methods can be used to determine proper glove

choice for chemical resistance.

Current published glove guides are limited in their scope of included

chemicals. The American Chemical Society’s Chemical Abstract Service

database (CAS), includes roughly 89 million chemicals that existence today.(7)

Of the 89 million chemicals in existence, the Ansell Guide lists PPE

recommendations for 167 chemicals(5), and the Forsberg et al. Quick Selection

3

Guide to Chemical Protective Clothing lists PPE recommendations for

approximately 1000 chemicals(6). There are also other smaller database

systems, such as the National Institutes for Occupational Safety and Health

(NIOSH) Recommendations for Chemical Protective Clothing: A Companion to

the NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards.(8) The NIOSH guide is also

limited in scope and application for the vast myriad of chemicals on the market

today. It is evident that there is a lack of available information on glove

recommendations for safe chemical handling. There is an estimated one new

chemical discovered or created every 2.3 seconds.(7) However, chemical

resistance data exist for less than 1% of the available chemicals.(7)

This study offers a solution for determining appropriate chemical

protective glove materials used in both industrial and household applications. It

does so by testing five durable polymer materials, common glove materials

available on the market, using two rapid chemical degradation assessment

techniques. The first technique involves gravimetric analysis of the weight

change following constant immersion in the chemical component or mixture, in a

manner similar to ASTM Method D 471.(3) The second method uses tensile

strength to assess molecular changes in the polymer structure, similar to a

previous study by Gao and Tomaovic (2005).(9) A total of 50 chemicals, found in

a variety of industrial and household settings, were used to evaluate the

effectiveness of these methods in determining a polymer material best suited to

resist chemical degradation to complex mixtures and commercial products.

4

This study is focused on addressing three issues of concern. First, this

study examines if current degradation testing methods, which focus on weight

change (and in some cases permeation) are adequate to determine glove

chemical resistance to degradation. Secondly, this study will be used to

determine if current degradation results on pure chemicals are effective in

predicting degradation of complex chemical mixtures, based on the major

ingredient(s). Lastly, this study will start an index and create a chemical guide

that can be used for complex mixed chemicals.

CHAPTER TWO

LITERATURE REVIEW

Background

Exposures to chemicals happen every day and in a variety of settings.

Whether at home cleaning or at an industrial work environment, safe practices in

choosing the correct personal protective equipment, such as gloves, can prevent

burns, wounds, infection, and even death. Gloves come in all different types of

materials and thicknesses. They can range in cost between two cents for a

single-use, disposable latex glove to over $110 dollars for a multi-use, heavy

duty polyvinyl chloride glove.

According to Hatada et al. (1996), degradation is defined as the “chemical

changes in a polymeric material that result in undesirable changes in the values

of in-use properties of the material”.(10) Glove degradation is often thought of as

occurring when the polymer material breaks down enough for an unwanted

chemical to come in contact with the skin. This can still occur even if there is no

apparent sign of either holes or tears in the polymer material. To prevent a

potentially harmful chemical coming in contact with skin, one must use a glove

that can offer the best protection for that exact individual application. To

determine if degradation is occurring, one may be able to observe changes

following exposure to a chemical, as a glove may begin to swell, shrink, harden,

stiffen, brittle or blister. According to Chemical Protective Clothing (Anna, 2003),

6

the best way to describe glove degradation is when a glove has lost its ability to

provide adequate protection to the user of the glove.(11) To choose the glove that

offers the best protection, a consumer must first look up the exact individual

chemical ingredients of a product by using the Safety Data Sheets (SDS),(12)

formerly known in the United States as Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).(13)

One would then have to look up these individual chemical ingredients in a PPE

recommendation guide, such as the Ansell Guide(5) or the Forsberg et al. Quick

Selection Guide to Chemical Protective Clothing(6) to determine which polymer is

the least likely to degrade during chemical exposure. The question that still

remains unanswered is whether or not the selected glove material will provide

the predicted level of protection.

For simplification, in this study, individual chemical ingredients will be

referred to as ”pure chemicals” and complex chemical products will be referred to

as ”mixed chemicals”.

Current Glove Guides

One guide that provides chemical information is the Safety Data Sheets

most commonly known as the SDS. Every commercial chemical in the United

States has an SDS, displaying data on identification, hazard identification,

composition/information on ingredients, first-aid measures, fire-fighting

measures, accidental release measures, handling and storage, exposure

controls/personal protection, physical and chemical properties, stability and

7

reactivity, and toxicological information.(12) There are two main problems with

utilizing the SDS for glove recommendations. First, it is generally written in

language more suited for business applications and the promotion of employee

safety, rather than layman language for individual use. Secondly, the SDS guides

do not often recommend specific glove materials for individual chemicals. To

ensure that the SDS does not give improper regimentations, the print will often

state something vague, such as ”use a chemically resistant glove”.(14) Although

the SDS does not often provide resolution in determining the appropriate glove to

use, it can be utilized to research the pure chemical ingredients contained within

each listed commercial product, as the chemical components are often provided.

The Ansell Chemical Resistance Guide is commonly used in order to

determine whether an Ansell glove product can withstand chemical permeation,(5)

as well as, chemical degradation in some cases. According to Chemical

Protective Clothing (Anna, 2003), permeation is a process that occurs when a

chemical passes through a surface without going through an opening such as a

hole or tear, at a molecular level.(11) The Ansell Guide(5) is a compilation of test

results and charts that assist in determining the degradation of an Ansell glove

product in a hazardous chemical. This helps a consumer decide which Ansell

glove product can work best given the type of pure chemical they will be exposed

to. The Ansell charts use a letter rating system and a color-coded system in

order to show the consumer the recommended rating of each glove material. The

color-coded system is based on chemical permeation. Green colored boxes

8

mean the glove is excellent or good and the permeation breakthrough is 30 min

or longer. Red colored boxes mean that the glove is poor or not recommended

for that chemical. Lastly, yellow colored boxes are used to show that the glove

did not fail the testing, but that material is also not recommended for use with that

chemical. The letter degradation rating is based on the percentage of change in

glove condition, where an excellent rating (E) is based on a change of less than

10%, a good rating (G) is based on a change of between 11-20%, a fair rating (F)

is based on a change of between 21-30%, a poor rating (P) is based on a change

of between 31-50%, and finally if the change of the glove is more than 50% the

glove is not recommended (NR) for that chemical. The Ansell degradation

guideline primarily focuses on which glove is the best against permeation of a

pure chemical using ATSM Method F 739 Standard Test Method for Permeation

of Liquids and Gases through Protective Clothing Materials under Conditions of

Continuous Contact.(15) A critical issue with the Ansell Guide is that many of the

recommendations are based on permeation data only, without consideration of

degradation testing. Because permeation is the molecular movement of

chemicals through the polymer and degradation is the chemical changes of the

polymer itself, the exclusion of degradation data means that if there are chemical

changes, but no increased molecular movement, the recommendations will not

change. The consequence can be the selection of a glove material that can

perform once for 30 plus minutes, but may be unacceptable thereafter. Chemical

9

degradation testing is an essential component of chemically protective glove

performance testing.

The Forsberg et al. Quick Selection Guide to Chemical Protective

Clothing(6) is a guide that shows roughly 1000 general polymer

recommendations. The provided chart also shows the results in a color coded

format dependent on permeation time and degradation rating of a pure chemical

on polymer material. Although, this chart has more data than the Ansell chart, it

is a little harder to use as there is no specific indication of chemical degradation

or permeation data, whereas Ansell does provide separate guidelines and data

for these two parameters, albeit degradation results are often not provided.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)

complies a database called Recommendations for Chemical Protective Clothing:

A Companion to the NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards.(8) However, this

guide is limiting in its actual recommendations for skin protection. The guide

often states three levels of recommendations, which do not assist in conclusively

recommending specific glove materials that will prevent skin contact. The first

level of recommendation that the NIOSH uses is ”prevent skin contact”, which is

defined as “wear appropriate personal protective clothing to prevent skin contact.

Suggested barriers for use should be confirmed with the vendor and for

additional information and use limitations”. The second NIOSH recommendation

frequently used is ”Frostbite”, which is defined as “wear appropriate personal

protective clothing to prevent the skin from becoming frozen from contact with the

10

evaporating liquid or from contact with the vessel containing the liquid”. Lastly,

the NIOSH recommendation of ”N.R.“ is defined as “no specific recommendation

can be made. Actual working conditions will determine the need for personal

protective equipment.” These three recommendations do not provide clear

guidelines or appropriate personal protective options. This lack of specificity in

recommendations for determining glove use for skin protection means this

particular guide for chemical protective clothing does not assist in making

appropriate glove decisions.

Polymer recommendations based solely on pure chemical use, mean that

the glove manufacturer (e.g., Ansell), NIOSH, and Forsberg et al. Quick

Selection Guide to Chemical Protective Clothing are limited in usage and do not

benefit those who use complex chemical mixtures, not in pure form.(5,8,4) These

guides do not often publish glove recommendations that include mixed chemical

products for commercial or individual use. Examining the individual pure

chemicals with a chemical mixture (e.g., using SDS information) may also not be

helpful, as combined chemicals may enhance degradation of the gloves. This

lack of mixed chemical and glove data creates an opportunity for further study.

Hypothesis

The MSDS, SDS, NIOSH, Ansell Guide, Forsberg et al. Quick Selection

Guide to Chemical Protective Clothing, etc. all provide basic information on glove

recommendations for primarily pure chemicals.(13,12,8,5,6) The results of the mixed

11

chemical weight and tensile strength tests will be compared with predicted

performance to see if the current accepted standards or guides are adequate in

determining polymer material recommendations. The data in these guides will

also be used as a basis for comparing and contrasting polymer material

recommendations for pure chemicals with complex mixed chemicals. This

comparison will help to determine if current degradation testing methods on pure

chemicals can be used to predict chemical resistance to complex chemical

mixtures. If in comparing polymer material weight and tensile strength to 50

complex-mixed chemical solutions, there are significant differences between the

predicted and actual results, then it would stand to reason that mixed-chemical

testing should be done. If results conclude that degradation of polymer materials

is different than those anticipated based on the pure chemical components, then

additional studies could yield a more in-depth database that includes exposure to

mixed chemical compositions and provides polymer material ratings for improved

glove selection.

CHAPTER THREE

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Polymer Selection

The five polymer materials tested were butyl, natural latex, neoprene,

nitrile, and vinyl. These materials were chosen because similar non-disposable

multi-use gloves of these same compositions appeal to both industrial workers

and individual consumers, according to the US Department of Energy.(16)

Sheets of the polymer material, rather than actual gloves, were used due to cost

restrictions. Each sheet was 1/16 inch (0.16 cm) thick, which is near the actual

glove thicknesses for similar products. The polymer material sheets were

purchased from MSC Industrial Supply (Melville, NY). Natural latex gloves,

which were 1/32 inch thick (0.32 cm) were used because they were less

expensive than the sheet material. The brand of latex gloves used was Marigold,

Manufacturer model #326Y, purchased from W. W. Grainger, Inc. (Chicago, IL).

Each sheet of polymer material and the natural latex gloves were cut into

3.00 x 0.5 inch (7.62 x 1.27 cm) strips, as 155 strips of each material would be

needed. The strip size was necessary for tensile strength testing according to

methods used by Phalen and Wong (2012).(17) To cut the polymer material into

exact 3.00 x 0.5 inch (7.62 x 1.27 cm) strips, a precision die cutting press made

by W. R. Sharples Company, Inc. (North Attleboro, MA) was used. The die

cutting press was used by placing the polymer materials onto a piece of wood,

13

between layers of paper, and then the die cutting press was placed on top of the

material and struck with a mallet, producing exact 3.00 x .005 (7.62 x 1.27 cm)

inch strips. Once the material was cut into uniform strips they were placed into

humidifiers for a twenty four hour period to ensure uniformity of gravimetric and

tensile testing results throughout the study.

Chemical Selection

Fifty assorted common products (complex mixed chemicals) were chosen.

The product names and corresponding manufacturer, hazardous chemical

composition information, specific health hazards, recommended PPE, and

National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) ratings for health, flammability, and

instability/reactivity are provided in Appendix A. The provided information came

from the SDS for each product. These chemicals were chosen because of their

potential hazard and expansive range in uses, including pest control, cleaning,

degreasing, automotive, and plumbing functions.

The polymer materials and chemicals used were paid for or donated by

private donors, California State University, San Bernardino Carpool Technicians,

California State University, San Bernardino Plumbers, and California State

University, San Bernardino Environmental Health Specialists.

14

Equipment

A Fisher Scientific (Los Angeles, California) ALF104 analytical balance

was used to weigh the strips. A calibrated Marathon Electronic Digital

Micrometer with ratchet torque control (CO 030C25, Fisher Scientific, Los

Angeles, California) was used to measure thickness. Tensile strength was

measured using an Admet Expert 7601 tensiometer (Norwood, Massachusetts)

with an eP2 Digital Controller and mechanical force grips.

Gravimetric Analysis

The test strips of each type of prepared polymer material were weighed using an

analytical balance. Then the thickness was measured at three different places on

the strips using a digital micrometer. The measurements were taken at the top,

middle, and bottom of the strip, with the average of these three measurements

calculated and recorded. As these measurements were taken, the polymer

materials were also labeled using a numbering system that corresponded to the

chemicals that they would be placed in. Five pieces of each polymer were then

marked for use as the control and placed into a humidifier to prevent damage

due to drying out in room temperature air.

The 50 chemicals were poured into separate 15mL glass vials. Each vial

was numbered and catalogued so that the contents could be easily identified. On

the outside of each vial, the number ”1” was placed on the left side, ”2” was

placed on the middle, and ”3” was placed on the right side. Three strips of

15

polymer material samples were then completely submerged into each of the 50

chemically filled 15mL glass vials and the sample polymer material was recorded

according to which vial placement position it was placed in: 1, 2, or 3. The

polymer material samples were then left to soak in the chemical vial for a period

of twenty-four hours.

After twenty-four hours the polymer material samples were removed from

the vials and rinsed off using distilled water. This rinsing process was to prevent

the assigned chemical from continuing to react with the sample and to prevent

other containments from interfering with the study. After the polymer material

samples were rinsed off, they were pat dried with a paper towel and were left for

one hour for the outer surface to air dry.

After the drying process was complete, the samples were again weighed

and measured using the same process as the initial weighing and measuring.

The samples were then placed into a humidifier to prevent further degradation

from occurring due to damage that could be caused by the strips drying out in

room temperature air.

The average of the recorded pre-test weights of each polymer material

sample per assigned chemical was then calculated using the formula, (sample

polymer material 1 + sample polymer material 2 + sample polymer material 3) / 3

= ”Average Pre-Test Material Weight”. This calculation was repeated using the

recorded post-test weights to determine the ”Average Post-Test Weight”. The

percentage change in weight of sample polymer material was then calculated

16

using these calculated average weights and the formula, ((“Average Post-Test

Weight”-“Average Pre-test Weight”) / ”Average Pre-test Weight” = Percentage

Change (%).

Tensile Testing

First, the five controls for each polymer were tested as described by

Phalen and Wong (2011)(18). The controls were taken out of the humidifier and

tested using the tensiometer. The tensiometer digitally displayed the tensile

strength (in MPa) and elongation at break (in percent). The average was

calculated using the formula, (control 1 + control 2 + control 3 +control 4 + control

5) / 5 = “Average Control Tensile Strength”. This data was then recorded.

Upon completion of the controls being tested and recorded, the test strips

of each chemically exposed polymer material were individually tested, and the

tensile strength and elongation at break recorded. The three data points

recorded for each of the 50 chemical and polymer combinations were averaged

using the formula, (sample polymer material 1 + sample polymer material 2 +

sample polymer material 3) / 3 = ”Average Post-Test Tensile Strength”. The

percentage change in tensile strength of each polymer material sample per

assigned chemical was then calculated using these calculated average post-

tensile strength data points and the formula, ((“Average Post-Test Tensile

Strength”-“Average Control Tensile Strength”) / ”Average Control Tensile

Strength” = Percentage Change (%).

17

Mixed- and Pure- Chemical Analysis

Determining Pure Chemical Composition Using the SDS

The SDS was used to determine the top three hazardous pure chemical

ingredients contained within each of the 50 mixed chemical products. These

pure chemicals were then recorded and used to predict the chemical resistance

of the polymer material.

Determining Recommendations Using Available Guidelines

The average percent change in weight for each of the 250 combinations of

polymer materials and mixed chemical was compared to the Chemical Protective

Clothing (Anna, 2003)(11) 5-tier rating system, based on ASTM Method F 471:

Excellent (0-10% weight change), Good (11-20% weight change), Fair (21-30%

weight change), Poor (31-50% weight change), and Not Recommended (over

50% weight change). This 5-tier system was used to determine polymer

recommendation ratings for each of the mixed chemicals so there would be a

greater breakdown in performance level than the 3-tier system.

The Ansell Guide(5) and the Forsberg et al. Quick Selection Guide to

Chemical Protective Clothing(6) were both used to research each pure chemical.

These guides use a 3-tier rating systems: Excellent to Good (0-20% weight

change), Fair to Poor (21-50% weight change), and Not Recommended (over

50% weight change) to determine polymer recommendation. They also use

permeation data in their recommendations, but this is a common practice and

18

one that cannot be evaluated separately. These existing systems were used to

determine the polymer recommendation rating for each of the pure chemical

ingredients.

Determining Degradation Based on Tensile Strength

The ANSI/ISEA 105 Standard calculates the performance level of a

material that has undergone puncture resistance testing, which is a form of

tensile testing.(4) An equivalent test was performed using tensile strength

measures instead of puncture resistance measures. The revised rating system

was determined by calculating the average percentage change in tensile strength

for each of the 50 chemical and polymer material experimental groups in

comparison with the appropriate polymer control group. The same rating system

as the ANSI/ISEA 105 standard was used, which was based on a 5-tier

recommendation system: 4 - Excellent (<20% change), 3 - Good (<40% change),

2 - Fair (<60% change), 1 - Poor (<80% change), and 0 – Not Recommended

(>80% change). The average results of the tensile strength tests of the

experimental samples compared to the control group were calculated and

recorded based on this 5-tier system. The 5-tier system was chosen to fulfill two

objectives: 1) evaluating the chemical resistance associated with molecular

changes in the polymer structure that would affect tensile properties and 2)

providing an additional evaluation to gravimetric analysis, which serves to

enhance a correct determination of chemical resistance. Ultimately, both tensile

strength and gravimetric analyses will provide a better indication of chemical

19

degradation and result in a more accurate rating system than those currently in

use.

20

CHAPTER FOUR

RESULTS

Gravimetric Analysis Results

In total, 750 polymer material samples were tested in 50 different chemical

products to determine the impact the chemicals would have on weight change.

A significant weight change would indicate a reduction in user protection against

the chemical. Table 1 summarizes the weight test results by categorizing the

”Average Pre-test Weight”, ”Average Post-Test Weight”, ”Percentage Change

(%)“ and organizing it by ”Chemical” and ”Polymer Material Sample Type”. Table

1 also signifies which polymer per assigned chemical had the least percentage

change, by designating the lowest percentage change result with an asterisk (*).

For example, the results for Chemical 1 (Diversey’s Speed Track-Clean &

Burnish Fragrance Free) clearly show that the butyl polymer material sample had

an average pretest weight of 2.0753g, an average posttest weight of 2.0895g,

yielding a percentage change equal to 0.68%. This result shows less change

than the other polymer material samples; neoprene 0.85%, nitrile 1.04%, vinyl

Tensile Strength Test Results

In total, 750 polymer material samples were tested in 50 chemicals to

determine the impact each chemical would have on a polymer material’s tensile

strength, signifying a reduction in user protection against the chemical.

Table 2 summarizes the tensile strength test results by categorizing the

”Average Pre-test Tensile Strength”, ”Average Post-Test Tensile Strength”,

”Percentage Change (%)“ and organizing it by ”Chemical” and ”Polymer Material

Sample Type”. Table 2 also signifies which polymer had the lowest percentage

change in tensile strength, by designating the lowest percentage change result

with an asterisk (*). For example, the results for Chemical 1 (Diversey’s Speed

Track-Clean & Burnish Fragrance Free) clearly show that the butyl polymer

material sample had an average pretest tensile strength of 5.8283 MPa, an

average posttest tensile strength of 5.8183 MPa, yielding a percentage change

equal to -0.17%. This result shows less change than the other polymer material

samples; neoprene 1.96%, nitrile 5.02%, vinyl -6.08%, and latex -3.81%.

CHAPTER FIVE

DATA ANALYSIS

Organizing Results to Establish a New Library

To best determine the most appropriate polymer material to minimize a

chemical exposure, the data sets were reorganized. Appendix B is a proposed

format for a new library that displays both mixed chemical and pure chemical

data results and a polymer recommendation. The 50 mixed chemicals are listed

down the left side of the table. Usually they would be listed in alphabetical order,

but for the ease of data flow within this study they are listed in order of their

assigned sample number. Under each mixed chemical are the most abundant

SDS pure chemical ingredients that are contained within each mixed chemical

product. Across the top of each section are the five polymer material types that

were studied. Under the polymer type the ”Test” preformed and ”Percentage

Change” is listed for each polymer material’s weight, thickness, tensile strength,

and elongation at break. The ”Weight Test” ratings are listed for the polymer’s

change in weight in both the mixed chemical and the corresponding pure

chemicals. Also listed are the tensile strength ratings of each polymer’s tensile

strength test results for each tested mixed chemical.

Appendix B also has a column titled ”Recommendation”. In this column

the overall usage recommendation for chemical resistance to degradation is

listed. To appropriately recommend polymer materials for mixed chemicals, the

38

recommendation is based on a comparison of both the weight test ratings and

the tensile strength test ratings, using the most conservative recommendation

rating. Although elongation to break and thickness measurements are shown on

Appendix B, this data was not used to determine mixed chemical polymer

recommendations, as they could not be compared with preexisting methods

common to industry. These observed mixed chemical recommendations are

based on a 3-tier system:

1. Recommended (both weight and tensile tested at Excellent or

Good),

a. Weight change within 0% to 20% change

b. Tensile strength with Less than 40% change

2. Use Caution (one or both tests received a score rating of Fair or

Poor, but neither test received a rating score of Not

Recommended), and

a. Weight change between 21% and 50%.

b. Tensile strength between 41% and 80% change.

3. Not Recommended (one or both tests received a score rating of

Not Recommended).

a. Weight change greater than 50%.

b. Tensile strength greater than 80% change.

The recommendation level of the polymer material exposed to the pure

chemicals is based on either the Ansell Guide(5) or the Forsberg et al. Quick

39

Selection Guide to Chemical Protective Clothing(6) rating systems. For

clarification purposes, on Appendix B this is designated as ”Pure Chemical

(Index Guide Rating)”, and is based on the corresponding 3-tier system:

Recommended (Excellent to Good, 0-20% weight change), Use Caution (Fair to

Poor, 21-50% weight change), and Not Recommended (Not Recommend, over

50% weight change), or the permeation criteria used by the rating system.

Pure- and Mixed- Chemical Analysis for Polymer Selection

Comparing the recommendation levels of the mixed chemicals to those of

the pure chemical ingredients provides an understanding of how the selection

based on chemical composition can vary between the two data sets. By

analyzing the data in Appendix B, we can compare the ”Recommendation”

values of the mixed chemicals to those of the pure chemical components.

Appendix B shows that there are 104 mixed chemicals (41.6%) whose polymer

material recommendations are the same as the pure chemicals contained within.

However, there are 146 polymer material recommendations (58.4%) that vary

between the mixed- and pure chemical compositions. This illustrates the lack of

agreement between the two methods.

In 108 of the 146 above variances (43.2% overall), mixed chemical

polymer recommendations are more favorable than those of one or more of the

pure chemicals contained within. For example, chemical 1 – Diversey: Speed

Track – Clean & Burnish, Fragrance Free contains both sodium

40

dodecylbenezene sulfonate and alcohol ethoxylate. Latex material has a

recommendation rating of ”Recommended” when exposed to Diversey: Speed

Track – Clean & Burnish, Fragrance Free, whereas, latex has a ”Recommended”

rating when exposed to sodium dodecylbenezene sulfonate and a ”Use Caution”

rating when exposed to alcohol ethoxylate. This more favorable

recommendation rating given to the mixed chemical signifies that the chemical

composition changed drastically when combined and that there is less

degradation with the final mixed chemical product.

In 20 of the 146 above variances (8% overall), the mixed chemical has a

lower and less favorable rating than one or more of the pure chemicals contained

within. For example, chemical 16 – Sevin: Concentrated Bug Killer contains

carbaryl, 1,2-propanediol, and salt. Latex was found to have a ”Use Caution”

recommendation when exposed to Sevin: Concentrated Bug Killer. However, the

latex polymer material has a ”Recommended” rating for use against exposure to

any of the three pure chemical ingredients individually. This lower and less

favorable recommendation rating means that the final mixed chemical product

demonstrates higher degradation than the individual pure ingredients it contains.

It is important to understand the implications of degradation integrity on polymer

materials.(19) The 20 variances in mixed chemical and pure chemical

recommendations that warrant a lower recommendation level are: chemical 16 –

Sevin: Concentrated Bug Killer (latex), chemical 18 – Ranger: Pro-Herbicide

(butyl and vinyl), chemical 22 – Main Tech: Penetrating Oil (neoprene, nitrile, and

41

vinyl), chemical 24 – Winner Industrial Supply: EZ Seal (nitrile), chemical 35 –

Kingsford Charcoal Lighter Fluid (nitrile), chemical 36 – Henry: Easy Release

Adhesive remover (neoprene), chemical 38: Liquid Performance: Spray Cleaner

and Polish (latex), chemical 39 – Truefuel: Truefuel 40:1 Engineered Fuel + Oil

(butyl and nitrile), chemical 40: Craftsman: Fuel Stabilizer (latex), chemical 42 –

Valvoline: DOT 3&4 (butyl and vinyl), chemical 45 – Amazing!: Liquid Fire

(neoprene and butyl), chemical 46 – Clorox: Outdoor Bleach Concentrate (vinyl),

and chemical 48 – White Lightning: Clean Streaks (nitrile and latex).

Finally, in 18 of the 146 above total variances (7.2% overall) the mixed

chemical recommendations were both higher and lower than those of their

corresponding individual pure chemical ingredients. For example, chemical 12 –

Homax: Oops Amazing Remover contains petroleum ether, ethanol, and xylene.

When neoprene is exposed to the mixed chemical it has a recommendation

rating of ”Use Caution”. However, neoprene material exposed to ethanol is rated

at ”Recommended” and both petroleum ether and xylene are rated as ”Not

Recommended”. The 18 variances that have mixed chemical recommendations

that are both higher and lower than their corresponding pure chemical

ingredients are: chemical 12 – Homax: Oops Amazing Remover (neoprene,

butyl, and nitrile), chemical 15 – Jasco: Varnish and Stain Remover (nitrile),

chemical 17 – Jasco: Paint and Apoxy Cleaner (butyl), chemical 29 – Relton:

chemical 40 – Craftsman: Fuel Stabilizer (vinyl), chemical 41 – Valvoline: Heavy

and Tar Remover (vinyl and latex).

Weight and Tensile Strength Data

It is important to note differences in polymer material recommendations

between weight and tensile strength tests, in comparison to the other polymer

materials exposed to the same chemical. Table 3 is a compilation of the 36

chemicals whose polymer material recommendation is exclusively dependent on

which test was performed. It is a comparative analysis of the polymer material

recommendations denoted by the asterisks shown in Table 1 and Table 2.

Only 14 chemicals (28%) resulted in the same polymer material

recommendations in both the weight and tensile strength testing in comparison to

44

the other polymer materials tested. These 14 chemicals are: chemical 1 –

Diversey: Speedtrack Clean and Burnish, fragrance free, chemical 3 - Practical

Solutions: Reflecta Natural Floor Cleaner, chemical 15 – Jasco: Varnish & Stain

Remover, chemical 17 – Jasco: Paint Epoxy Cleaner, chemical 18 – Ranger: Pro

Herbicide, chemical 28 - Nexgen Chemstar Line: Nexbac, chemical 30 - Weld-

42 – Valvoline: Dot 3 & 4, chemical 44 – Clorox: Liquid Plumber, chemical 46 –

Clorox: Clorox Bleach, and chemical 49 – Turtle: Bug and Tar Remover.

The 36 chemical and polymer material recommendation results, that are

dependent on which test was preformed, need to be better analyzed to make a

more informed choice for polymer material selection. For example, Table 3

shows that for chemical 2, butyl had the best weight test result, but neoprene had

the best tensile test result. Because both weight and tensile strength changes

are indicators of degradation and chemical action, it stands to reason that both

are important considerations when selecting a polymer material for chemical

resistance.

Weight and Tensile Strength Ratings for Polymer Selection

The mixed chemical polymer recommendations in Appendix B are

conservative recommendations based on the lesser (more conservative) rating

received from either the weight test rating or the tensile strength test rating. Table

45

3 is a compilation of the 36 chemicals whose polymer material recommendation

is dependent on the results of either the weight test or the tensile test

independently, not a comparison of the test results with each other. It does not

indicate which test result has the better recommendation level and therefore

cannot be used to determine which polymer should be used as PPE when

handling that chemical. For example, chemical 24 in Table 3 shows that the

polymer with the least percentage of change based solely on the results from the

weight test was vinyl and based solely on the results of the tensile test was butyl.

To determine which polymer material should be considered, one must also know

which test result had the best recommendation, which can be seen in Appendix

B. With Appendix B, the weight test rating recommendation for the use of vinyl

material in the weight test is ”Poor”, but the tensile strength test rating

recommendation for the use of butyl in the tensile test is ”Fair”. By looking at

these test results independently you may chose the wrong polymer and chose

Butyl. By looking at the overall recommendation column in Appendix B, it can be

observed that the recommendation level of butyl is actually ”Not Recommended”,

which would mean that the vinyl polymer is likely a more appropriate choice for a

PPE. This is because the comparison of the weight test and the tensile test

results are independent of each other and do not exclusively determine the best

choice in polymer material. To determine which material is the most appropriate

PPE with regards to chemical degradation resistance, one must consider both

the weight and tensile strength test results for each of the polymer materials.

46

In this study there were 45 combinations (18% overall) that resulted in a

lower (less favorable) weight test rating than tensile strength rating, meaning that

the recommendation was lowered because of a higher percent change in weight

than tensile strength. The 45 mixed chemical and polymer material combinations

that were affected by the lower weight test rating, and therefore lower

recommendation, are: chemical 2 - Practical Solutions: Power Bolt Spray(latex),

chemical 12 - Homax: Oops Amazing Remover (butyl, nitrile, vinyl, and latex),

chemical 15 – Jasco: Varnish & Stain Remover (nitrile and latex), chemical 17 –

Jasco: Paint and Epoxy Cleaner (butyl and latex), chemical 18 – Ranger: Pro-

Herbicide (butyl and vinyl), chemical 19 – Kimball Midwest: Inter-lube Penetrating

Grease (neoprene), chemical 22 - Main Tech: Penetrating Oil (butyl and latex),

chemical 24 - Winner Industrial Supply: EZ Seal (butyl), chemical 29 – Relton:

Rapid Tap (latex), chemical 30 – Weld-On P-70 Primer (neoprene, butyl, nitrile,

vinyl, and latex), chemical 31 – Ecoline: Dry Teflon (nitrile, vinyl, and latex),

chemical 33 – Maxima: Chain Wax (butyl and latex), chemical 34 – WD40 (butyl),

chemical 35 – Kingsford: Charcoal Lighter Fluid (butyl, vinyl, and latex), chemical

38 – Liquid Performance: Spray Cleaner and Polish (butyl, vinyl, and latex),

chemical 39 – Truefuel: Truefuel 40:1 Engineered Fuel + Oil (butyl, nitrile, vinyl,

and latex), chemical 45 – Amazing! Liquid Fire (neoprene, butyl, vinyl, and latex),

and chemical 48 – White Lightning: Clean Streaks (butyl, nitrile, vinyl, and latex).

There were 14 combinations (5.6% overall) which resulted in a lower (less

favorable) tensile strength rating than weight test rating, meaning that the

47

recommendation was lowered because of a higher percent change in tensile

strength than weight. The 14 mixed chemical and polymer material combinations

that were affected by the lower tensile strength test rating, and therefore lower

recommendation, are: chemical 12 – Homax: Oops Amazing Remover

(neoprene), chemical 16 – Sevin: Concentrated Bug Killer (latex), chemical 19 –

Kimball Midwest: Inter-lube Penetrating Grease (latex), chemical 25 – Oaty: ABS

Cement (neoprene), chemical 36 – Henry: Easy Release Adhesive Remover

(neoprene), chemical 40 – Craftsman: Fuel Stabilizer (vinyl), chemical 41 –

Valvoline: Heavy Duty Brake Parts Cleaner (vinyl and latex), chemical 42 –

Valvoline DOT 3&4 (butyl and vinyl), chemical 43 – Easy Off: Oven Cleaner

(vinyl), chemical 45 – Amazing!: Liquid Fire (nitrile), chemical 46 – Clorox:

Outdoor Bleach Concentrate (vinyl),and chemical 49 – Turtle Wax: Bug and Tar

Remover (vinyl).

Out of a possible 250 polymer material and mixed chemical combinations,

191 combinations (76.4% overall) resulted in equal weight and tensile strength

ratings, which indicates that there is a level of agreement between the two

methods. However, the combined use of both weight change and tensile

strength change data has distinct advantages when evaluating resistance to

chemical degradation. It is a conservative approach that takes into account the

various changes occurring within the polymer that could indicate chemical

degradation. The results of this study support this notion.

48

CHAPTER SIX

DISCUSSIONS

Pure Chemicals and Mixed Chemicals

By comparing the recommendation levels, 38 of the 250 mixed chemicals

(15.2%) have higher degradation ratings (less favorable) than their respective

pure chemicals, and the need for a new library index is made immediately clear.

In 104 of the polymer material recommendations that are the same (41.6%), the

mixed chemical and corresponding pure chemicals would not alter the final

decision on which polymer material to use as a PPE. In 108 of the polymer

materials (43.2%) whose mixed chemical recommendation ratings are higher

(more favorable) than those of its pure chemicals, we would have less need for

caution in glove recommendation. This last scenario is likely due the fact that the

pure chemical components in a commercial product are often present at lower

concentrations and not in a pure form. Nevertheless, the need for a new index is

made clear when comparing the 146 variations that were observed between the

predicted ratings using pure chemical components and the actual degradation

results for the mixture.

The importance of analyzing the 38 combinations that have higher

degradation ratings (less favorable recommendations) than their respective pure

chemicals is that someone could improperly identify a polymer material to use for

a specific chemical product by researching the pure chemical ingredients as they

49

are provided in the Ansell Guide(5) or the Forsberg et al. Quick Selection Guide to

Chemical Protective Clothing(6). This means that a polymer deemed as

”Recommended” based on its pure chemical composition may in fact have a

recommendation rating of ”Use Caution” or ”Not Recommended” as a mixed

chemical in its final product form. This altered chemical composition and

increased degradation of the polymer material could result in harmful exposure to

the skin if the incorrect material was chosen as a PPE. For example, chemical

46 – Clorox: Outdoor Bleach Concentrate is made up two main pure chemical

components according to the SDS: sodium hypochlorite and sodium hydroxide.

Individually, the ratings for these two pure chemicals would indicate a

recommendation of vinyl gloves. However, actual degradation testing for Clorox:

Outdoor Bleach Concentrate results in a vinyl glove listed as ”Use Caution”. This

lower recommendation level is likely because of the chemical reaction that

occurs when sodium hypochlorite and sodium hydroxide combine. When these

two chemicals are combined together sodium hydroxide slows the decomposition

of sodium hypochlorite, it also results in a more caustic final chemical with

quickened PPE material degradation. This explains why the vinyl polymers

showed a greater percent change for both tests after continuous exposure to the

final product, rather than the recommendation made by the weight test (or

potentially permeation). Without a new rating system, there is no way to foresee

that the degradation of the final mixed bleach product is more hazardous to vinyl

polymers than its pure chemical ingredients individually. This lack of final mixed

50

chemical information could lead to the use of the wrong polymer materials and

result in undue injury, illness or death.

Weight versus Tensile Results

The Ansell Guide(5) and the Forsberg et al. Quick Selection Guide to

Chemical Protective Clothing(6) index systems determine which polymer materials

act as the best PPE based primarily on pure chemicals and their corresponding

weight and/or permeation test results. The current indexes also do not account

for other testing methods, such as the tensile strength tests, which could provide

valuable information on the molecular changes occurring within the polymer.

Fourteen of the 250 recommendations (5.6%) made for polymer material and

mixed chemicals combinations completed in this study were changed due to the

tensile strength test results. This demonstrates that tensile strength can play a

vital role in choosing the most appropriate polymer material to use when handling

a chemical hazard. The Ansell Guide(5) and the Forsberg et al. Quick Selection

Guide to Chemical Protective Clothing(6) index systems do not effectively take

into account the results of tensile tests and other test methods. This lack of

information results in an index that is limited in its scope of PPE

recommendations. The more conservative the data sets are that are taken into

consideration for PPE recommendations, the less likely that the improper PPE

will be chosen.

51

More Conservative Polymer Recommendations

The use of conservative recommendations provide improved safety and

health standards of practice, more so than those currently implemented in most

chemical resistance glove indexes. Additional test results provide for a more

accurate and appropriate recommendation of chemical degradation resistance.

For example, the butyl polymer material sample gave conflicting results when

tested in chemical 24 - Winner Industrial Supply’s EZ Seal. Butyl’s weight test

rating is ”Not Recommended” due to a test result of having over 50% change in

weight; however, the tensile strength test rating is ”Fair” due to having less than

60% change in tensile strength. Given the knowledge that the polymer material

was ”Not Recommended” because of weight test results, the overall

recommendation for the polymer is ”Not Recommended” regardless of the ”Fair”

tensile strength recommendation. This conservative approach allows for a more

practical and protective recommendation, so that a consumer can make a more

appropriate decision on the polymer material best for the exposure scenario.

Conservative polymer material selection offers the consumer a “safer” glove and

more appropriate PPE recommendation.

52

CHAPTER SEVEN

CONCLUSIONS

The current polymer material indexes on chemical resistance and

degradation are lacking critical information and are limited in scope. According to

the American Chemical Society, there have been about 89 million chemicals that

have been found or manufactured by humans, most of which have been

developed in the past several decades.(7) Each of these chemicals must have an

SDS sheet that can provide information as to the chemical composition of the

product. However, the Ansell Guide has only 167 chemicals listed in its 8th

edition,(5) and the Sixth edition Forsberg et al. Quick Selection Guide to Chemical

Protective Clothing boasts that it includes information on over 1000 chemicals(6).

It is easy to see that there is a large gap between the quantity of products that

exist and the number of chemicals that offer PPE recommendations.

Singularly depending on weight test results, or permeation data for that

matter, for polymer recommendation ratings is not appropriate. If degradation

testing of final mixed chemical products were added into the current library

system of testing and identifying appropriate PPE materials, then it would still

continue to implement mostly weight test based recommendations. By failing to

include tensile strength test recommendations, there were 14 combinations

(5.6%), out of 250, whose polymer recommendation could have led to injury,

illness or death due to the original test results indicating a higher chemical

53

resistance rating and recommendation than the tensile test results warranted.

Ultimately, the material was likely affected by the chemical mixture, but this was

not detected by gravimetric analysis. Because many of the chemical protective

glove products are re-used, tensile testing becomes an important evaluation tool

for chemical resistance and degradation.

Relying solely on the SDS and the resulting pure chemical compositions to

determine polymer recommendation also leads to false polymer recommendation

information. By cataloguing pure chemicals and not evaluating the final mixed

chemical products, 38 total polymer recommendations out of 250 studied would

have been changed. The fact that 15.2% of the polymer material

recommendations would change, because the final mixed chemical product has

different chemical properties, shows that there is something glaringly wrong with

the current system.

This study was successful in showing that there are many issues with both

the Ansell Guide(5) and the Forsberg et al. Quick Selection Guide to Chemical

Protective Clothing(6) glove guide index systems. The new proposed library takes

into consideration two types of recommendations: weight and tensile strength.

However, the index should be expanded to include known chemical hazards,

especially common commercial products and complex mixtures. There is an

opportunity for more research and experimental testing methods to minimize

chemical exposures and improve the PPE recommendations. The risk for

54

chemical exposure is significant, and can lead to permanent injury, illness or

death, so there is urgency in the creation of a new, more inclusive database.
